If you get water in your basement during the spring melt, are you covered?
With a lot of snow on the ground and warmer weather around the bend, are floods and wet basements a given this spring?
The potential for flooding is difficult to predict, said meteorologist Paul Douglas. It depends on snow on the ground but also water content in the snowpack, depth of the frost layer, speed of the March/April warmup and spring rainstorms. But anyone who might be affected by flooding can’t afford to wait for rising waters before taking out flood insurance. Policies require 30 days to take effect. Since most flooding starts in April, time’s a-wasting.
